Augusta, GA Operations & Maintenance Facility

Wendel provided architecture and engineering services for the design and construction of a new operations and maintenance facility that will house forty buses and provide for future expansion. The facility space program was prepared in cooperation with Augusta Public Transit. All maintenance services, operations, and administration functions will be housed in a contiguous building closer to the operations’ core. Wendel also provided site selection and master planning services as part of the design work.

In anticipating future electric bus use, the design included a layout and infrastructure to accommodate both fast and slow charging of buses on site. The City of Augusta utilized a Construction Management (CM) delivery method for the bidding and construction of the new facility. Wendel provided construction administration services to verify that the construction follows all required Federal Transit Authority (FTA) regulations, plans, and contract documents. Design and bidding were completed in October 2017, and the groundbreaking was in November 2017. Construction was completed in the summer of 2019.
